have they acknowledged this? how can they justify it? are we should it's google and not robinhood somehow? IIRC, the iOS App Store allows developers some control over how ratings are presented (i.e. by allowing them the option to reset ratings when uploading a new version)

How were these not overall real reviews? If they can't prove otherwise, this just entrenches the idea that big money is vastly more powerful than small voices. I honestly don't see how if this trend continues how things will end well. It's not just about Robinhood, etc, it's deplatforming, using AWS, etc as a weapon against smaller voices. I can't see this ending well.

Yeah the title is speculated, should be more factual: “robinhood’s Google store ratings recovered”

If someone predicted 10 years ago what Big Tech did in the last years, they would have been labeled conspiracy theorist.

Well yes because conspiracy theories are usually associated with the far right political agenda. Plus a broken clock is correct twice a day.
